It all started while driving to Virginia for my Uncle's 50th birthday party. I never made it there. I was on I-83 and had a full blown panic attack on 8/23/14. Of course, I didn't know what it was. I just kept saying to myself, "I don't feel right, I don't feel right."

It was the summer of 2012, just two days after Nick was gone again, that I made a hotline call. I couldn’t see the value in waiting for tomorrow. My call rolled to the voicemail of a nurse practitioner at the VA. Now I was pissed off. I left a voicemail and the following day I sat with a wonderful psychiatrist who helped me manage my overwhelming grief. I was diagnosed with clinical depression at 49 years old.
